It is unclear at what phase the State Department&#8217;s assessment stands. The State Department would not answer <em>Washington <\/em><em>Free Beacon<\/em> requests for further information about the type of care and potential surgeries it would be considering.<\/p>\n<p>The plan is part of the Biden administration\u2019s government-wide effort to foster inclusivity, and is already courting controversy among Republicans in Congress who say U.S. taxpayers should not be responsible for funding controversial surgeries and other types of gender dysphoria care.

Jim Banks (R., Ind.), who helms the Republican Study Committee (RSC), Congress\u2019s largest conservative caucus, told the <em>Free Beacon<\/em>. &#8220;Americans are pro-family, pro-country and pro-God. I hope foreigners understand that Joe Biden\u2019s State Department doesn\u2019t represent our values.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Dan Bishop (R., N.C.) also expressed concerns about the State Department\u2019s mission. &#8220;The facts are simple,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Biden\u2019s policies exploit and harm children to promote his political agenda. These experimental and irreversible treatments on children shouldn\u2019t be tolerated, let alone promoted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gina Abercrombie-Winstanly, the State Department\u2019s first chief diversity and inclusion officer, says in the report that the foreign service &#8220;can be a leader in demonstrating how DEIA can be advanced across the federal government.&#8221; She also said that all State Department employees &#8220;must encourage the kind of structures and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The State Department says it will consider providing gender dysphoria and gender transition care for diplomats and their children stationed overseas, stoking concerns in Congress that taxpayers will be responsible for funding sex change surgeries.<br \/>\nThe post Sex Changes for Diplomats?
